Web-based statement of result verification system for Federal Polytechnic, Mubi

Abstract

Over the years there has been a continuous request by Organizations Academic Institutions, Recruiters and Employers to verify graduated students' statements of results from Federal Polytechnic, Mubi. This occurs as a result of the delay in issuance of Certificates which are expected to be ready after three years of Student graduation as it is obtainable by other Institutions in the country. This issue is causing Organizations, Institutions and the Polytechnic time and resources over the years. This paper aims to design an online result verification system that will provide easy, fast and real-time verification of student Statements of the result. This system of verifying students' results will reduce the level of result forgery, ease the stress on the Polytechnic and reduce verification time which is done by physical document verification. The current system requires an employer or anybody concerned to send a representative to the Exams and Record Unit of the Polytechnic to verify a particular statement of result which takes a long time and is not cost-effective. This paper designed and implemented a proposed Web Base Statement of Result Verification System using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), JavaScript, Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), MySQL Database and Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (WAMP) Server. Unified Modeling Language (UML) Diagrams and System Architecture were designed for the proposed system. The proposed system was designed to process student results with an embedded Quick Response (QR) code and a Result Verification Code (RVC) which will help organizations to verify students’ statements of results in real-time. This system could be integrated into an already existing institution's official portal.
